Let the elderly retire so the youth can focus on building the nation

Last weekend was interesting for those who like to pay attention to what Kenyan youths (my high school teacher must be cringing at this word which has now become part of Kenyan lingua). Let us start with the now famous chant line Wamlambez, Wamnyonyez line which had some puritanists expressing total displeasure. Most complainers had no clue what the words meant, they were just upset at the sound of these two words and at the manner in which they have taken over the youths (once again that annoying word). For those who might not know, these words I am told have something to do with what members of the male and female genders are expected do with certain body parts in pursuit of carnal pleasure.

From where I sit, there really is nothing that new or bad about these words because we all know all living creatures within a certain age think of coitus and coitus only. Most ma-youths be they those born in the cat family, the donkey family or the Homo Sapiens family, like to think and have sex most of the time.
